A Research Agenda for Management and Organization Studies
- 2016
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Managing and organizing are now central phenomena in contemporary societies. It is essential they are studied from a variety of perspectives, and with equal attention paid to their past, their present, and their future. This book collects opinions of the trailblazing scholars concerning the most important research topics, essential for study in the next 15–20 years. The opinions concern both traditional functions, such as accounting and marketing, personnel management and strategy, technology and communication, but also new challenges, such as diversity, equality, waste and cultural encounters. The collection is intended to be inspiration for young scholars and an invitation to a dialogue with practitioners.

Actor-Network Theory and Organizing
- 2005
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Actor Network Theory and Organizing Actor-Network Theory (ANT) is rapidly making its mark as a practical, challenging and intriguing tool for studying organization. Its unique approach to connecting people, artifacts, institutions and organizations enables it to shed light on complexities that so far have escaped works in organization theory. In this book a number of European and American scholars apply ANT in the study of various aspects of organization, including technology, organizational change, routines, virtual organization, strategy, power, market mechanisms, consumer behaviour, public administration and knowledge management. Taken together, the chapters offer new and intriguing ways of organizational theorizing. The book is suitable for researchers and higher-level students, and it serves as an excellent primer for those wanting to learning about ANT through the lens of organization theory.

- In this conversation about the book The Republic of Tea, we discuss cultural connotations of the concept entrepreneur, possibilities of change through individual agency, and also entrepreneurship and marketing in terms of literary theory, and consequences of such a perspective for entrepreneurship research. On the way, we also experiment with a novel way of writing a scientifi c article.

Coping with excess: How organizations, communities and individuals manage overflows
- 2014
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What does a stockbroker in Istanbul navigating the rush of incoming trading figures have in common with a mother in Stockholm trying to organize a growing pile of baby clothes? They are both coping with excess or overflow. This book explores the ways in which institutions, corporations and individuals define and manage situations of 'too much' - too much information, too many choices, too many commodities or too many tasks. By analyzing a wide range of settings - from corporate firms and public administration to everyday domestic routines - the book offers an in-depth understanding of the complexities of overflow phenomena. It questions when, where and why overlow emerges and for whom this is a problem or a blessing. This broad introduction to a striking contemporary phenomenon will prove an enlightening read for a wide-ranging audience including academics and researchers in the disciplines of business and management, political science, economic history and sociology.

Action nets for waste prevention
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Although waste prevention is considered the best possible option in the European waste-hierarchy model, it is not always clear what is meant by “waste prevention”. This chapter presents three cases of waste prevention, selected to illustrate the variety of these practices: a waste-management company selling waste-prevention services, the opportunity for Swedish householders to opt out of unaddressed promotional material, and a car-sharing program. The analysis is informed by an action net perspective, focusing on the way organizing comprises connecting actions, often prior to or in conflict with networking among actors. Through each of these examples, we demonstrate how waste prevention depends on specific physical artifacts and infrastructures and is the result of specific ways of connecting actions. In conclusion, we emphasize that waste prevention rests on the emergence of new modes and patterns of interactions that both build and disrupt the existing institutional order of consumption. We also stress that waste prevention as it is discussed in this chapter is not a step forward in the European waste hierarchy but constitutes a break with the traditional notion of waste management.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- When there is money spent on products of culture, are those costs or expenses? An answer to that question may be of importance not only to accountants and auditors, and it can vary among cultures. This article compares the way the issue is presented by two fiction writers, one Swedish and one British.

A (d)evolution of the cyberwoman?
- 2008
-
Ingår i: Organization. - 1350-5084. ; 15:5, s. 665-683
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this paper, we examine Donna Haraway's idea of a liberating potential of cyborgization in the light of popular culture products related to organized work. We consider two different takes on this issue: women as technology and technology as women, and we start with the successive versions of Stepford Wives (the novel, the 1975 movie and the 2004 movie), and continue by tracing the evolution of the character of a cyberwoman, from William Gibson's Neuromancer (1984) and Idoru (1996), to Trinity from the Matrix trilogy. We show that cyborgization does not automatically denote liberalization, and suggest that the much greater popularity of the Matrix films compared to the intellectual projects of William Gibson means that stereotypes and strong plots survive, finding ever new forms of expression. We end the paper by pointing out the relevance of popular culture models for work in contemporary homes and other workplaces.

A golden braid: Allport, Goffman, Weick
- 2006
-
Ingår i: Organization Studies, Walter de Gruyter, Berlin/New York.. - : SAGE Publications. - 0170-8406. ; 27:11, s. 1661-1674
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- One of the central tenets of Karl Weick’s work and one of his original contributions to organization theory is his insistence that organizational scholars should study structures of events rather than people, objects, or pseudo-objects, important as they all are. Through the operation of sensemaking, events may be portrayed as meaningful actions or random occurrences, but it is the connections among them that are central to organizing. This paper connects Karl Weick’s work to that of Floyd H. Allport and Erving Goffman, two among several writers who inspired Weick. These three authors shared an interest in what Allport called structuring, Goffman called ordering, and Weick called organizing of the events and experiences of everyday life. This genealogical presentation of their work attempts to situate their thoughts within contemporary debates in social sciences, including those determined by the spirit of the times.

They may offer new avenues and draw up an agenda for a specific research question. Authors have to be invited to submit to the "carte blanche" series by one of the editors.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- My text contains more questions than answers, and the answers are only speculative. My first question is: ‘Whose turn to practice took place in 2001?’ The text contains a short review of various meanings of the term in different disciplines. From there I move to the second question, which I find especially relevant for my discipline: management and organization studies. ‘Is ‘reflective practitioner’ an oxymoron?’ I set Niklas Luhmann against Donald Schön in my search for an answer. The third question is: ‘How can bridges between practitioners and theoreticians of management be (re)built?’

Analisi etnografica di un'agenzia di stampa
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Le agenzie di stampa ricevono ogni giorno montagne di informazioni, delle quali circa il cinque per cento diventa "notizia". Ciò nonostante, producono esse stesse nuove informazioni attraverso i propri reporter e una continua ricerca. Come è possibile filtrare e verificare questa sovrabbondanza di materiale? Quali strategie e tecnologie esistono per gestirla? Il testo risponde a queste domande, conducendo un'analisi etnografica sull'agenzia ansa, evidenziando come i giornalisti si trovino coinvolti in una grande rete produttiva, in cui devono conciliare l'esigenza di ritmi sempre più veloci con la necessità di verificare l'esattezza delle informazioni.

Att trolla med knäna : Berättelser om pandemin och de människor som fått den svenska välfärden att fortsätta fungera
- 2023
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under Covid-19-pandemin smittades 765 miljoner människor och 6.9 miljoner avled. Världens länder och deras sjukvårdssystem gjorde sina yttersta för att minimera antal smittade och avlidna. Men att skydda sina befolkningar från viruset handlade inte bara om det rent medicinska och folkhälsoaspekterna. Stora insatser krävdes också för att samhället skulle kunna fortsätta att fungera inom områden som skola och utbildning, barn- och äldreomsorg, sociala tjänster, försvar, forskning och kultur. Men hur gick detta till? Baserat på dagböcker, observationer och intervjuer med människor som representerar ett trettiotal olika välfärdsyrken och professioner i Sverige tecknar vi en bild av det dagliga välfärdsarbetet i tider av kris. Detta i ett land som i internationella jämförelser ansetts vara ett undantag i hur pandemin skulle bemötas.
